One of three young persons who became stranded between Waterwynch and Monkstone Point on Sunday afternoon used their mobile 'phone to call the police for assistance.

The police helicopter happened to be in the area following the call just after 4 pm and was diverted to check out the situation.

As a result, the police contacted Milford Haven Coastguard, who in turn launched Tenby's inshore lifeboat, which picked up the girls and transported them back to Tenby harbour.
